I hopped onto @bloomberg Radio & TV to talk climate tech on Friday, We discussed sustainable home heating (@harvest_thermal), EVs (@MonarchTractor), and battery recycling (@NthCycle). Clip embedded and full link below, starting at 22:20: https://t.co/J87jf3r9YP

If you live in NYC, sign this petition to keep community composting programs, which significantly reduce the city’s waste footprint. https://t.co/naCZgvlUZM

Come work in climate tech!!! https://t.co/XCuOS540GK

There are some people who can afford to take $0 salary with little life impact, and some who can’t. If those who can’t are kept out of entrepreneurship, that would be a really bad thing!

1/2 @Bloomberg dropped by Nth Cycle's labs to speak with our CEO, Megan O'Connor, and learn how we are giving dead batteries new life. Traditionally, #criticalmetals inside e-waste are extracted through means that harm the environment.

I joined the @Earth911 podcast to talk about the future of climate tech and accelerating the transition to net-zero emissions. You can listen here ⬇️

- Pundits: look at the new, young, exciting candidate with big ideas to take the GOP in a new direction - The candidate: climate = hoax - Live conservative audience: boos Work of art all around IMO

Happy 111th birthday to this little one

Two big challenges to eliminating fossil fuels: 1. Solar power only when sun shine, wind power only when wind blow 2. Some manufacturers that need heat onsite lack non-fossil options @CacheEnergy is looking to solve both of those problems - a company to watch!

AI drones to keep hydropower plants running Technology and climate solutions coming together under innovative business models We are so excited for @niricson

From @Bloomberg : "An AI Startup Is Helping North American Diesel Trains Clean Up Their Act" Great piece on @RVAnalytics, using software to help trains cut their emissions

Really cool to see @BrightNightpwr partnering with @Rivian and @nature_org to turn what used to be one of the largest coal mines into the largest renewable energy project in Kentucky

Reminder that Russia’s economy and global influence are built on exporting oil and gas, and this is one of many reasons the world should transition off of oil and gas 👍

Thermal batteries are magic - and people are beginning to 👀. A 🧵

Bottom line: the world needs to mitigate emissions, not offset them. Hopefully cars like this one I saw- in a smoke-filled NYC, with a memorable license plate- will be a relic of the past soon enough, as the world works to actually reduce emissions, not just try to “offset” them.

Most oil companies’ net zero targets are weighted very heavily towards buying offsets. That won’t cut it. And just last week, Delta Airlines was sued because its carbon neutrality claims - which are largely tied to paying to protect forests - are likely not legitimate.

The big takeaway is that we can’t offset our way to net zero emissions. Urgent action needs to be taken to actually reduce greenhouse gas emissions, in the power sector, transportation, buildings, industry and agriculture. The bulk of this is eliminating fossil fuels ASAP.

There’s a small takeaway and a big takeaway from this. The small takeaway is that the current carbon offset system needs to be made more transparent, reliable, and standardized...

To be sure, not all carbon offsets are linked to protecting trees. And some offsets that are tree-linked are legitimately protecting at-risk forested areas. But there’s still very little transparency in most cases around the carbon offsets we purchase.

We don’t have good data out of Canada yet, but we know that two years ago, 153,000 acres of forests that were part of California’s carbon offset program burned, plus another 100,000 in Oregon.
